The California mid-state fair is proud to announce its theme for 2026: Back to the 80’s.
The theme marks the fair’s 80th anniversary. “Each year’s theme helps shape the overall fair experience… fairgoers can expect an atmosphere inspired by the 1980s – celebrating the music, fashion, and pop culture that defined the era.”
The theme is designed to inspire participation, creativity, and fun across every exhibit category, providing “a creative framework for exhibitors of all ages and all skill levels.”
Additional details about themed decor, promotions, interactive experiences, and community exhibits sign-ups will be announced in the coming months.
The California mid-state fair will return July 15th through the 26th.
